Skateboarding Ninja

One of our little neighbours is five years old later on this week and Len came to the rescue again, when I was fretting over what on earth I should do for his card. He found a great little image on line (Luke is into his scooter, does try to skateboard and also likes Ninjas) - and this is what I made:

I used:- 5" x 7" white card blank- piece of red card stock from the snippets folder, with the top edge die cut using the super-useful Memory Box 'Grand Happy Birthday' die- trimmed the red panel to size and glued it to the card front- filled in the white parts of the sentiment by die cutting more letters with the Memory Box die plus white card backed with Stick-It then inlaying them, it just gives a slightly more professional look (IMHO)- added the '5th' using a Memory Box 'Classic Numbers' die and Tattered Lace 'Alphabet' dies- glued the image panel in place to suit the vertical space I had- last touch was to add the name 'Luke', die cut using Tattered Lace 'Alphabet' dies

And that was it - done. Only took me about three hours, and I'm not kidding!

Hi Di, a great card for the little fellow, a team effort to create it too. love the clever placing of the ninja on the skateboard, you have both done a wonderful job fitting in his likes... have a great week... Megan

Oh wow!! Your young neighbour is going to love it so much!! Such a perfect tought card for him!! A lot of work, I think but the result is awsome! Your hubby founded a perfect image and love how you mixed your dies to make the sentiment, great!!!

Such a cool card, Di I love how you personalized it! Len came up with a fab idea for this young man and I bet he loved it! I hear you on the 3 hrs - I'm a very slow crafter myself and I just keep fussing with everything. 3 hrs is good!

Len is the perfect man for the job! The card is so dang cute - love the little ninja. Hmm, since I haven't made cards in who knows how long, I imagine it would have taken me days to make this, especially with the detail.

Hope you and Len are doing fine. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I can retire Friday, July 13, 2017!! My friend and I leave on a cruise the following day to New England and Canada!

Len came to the rescue just fine and your card certainly has all the requirements. A super card. The twins were born on 2nd Feb. Not seen them yet or know their names but Norm hot footed it over there with his card toot sweet. Hugs Mrs A. email coming!

Welcome to my little workshop

I'm Diane (Di to most people), retired and I live in Hampshire, UK. The name Pixie's Crafty Workshop came about because my 'in-house critic' refers to 'The pixie being hard at work' whenever I'm playing with paper or other crafty stuff. And he's right, it's mostly when I should be doing other things :) I've always loved paper crafting - especially using scissors. Aged five and laid up with measles, in a fit of boredom I chopped my fringe right off! If it can be trimmed, then I'll trim it!
